Customer-obsessed science

Machine Learning (ML) systems are getting increasingly popular, and drive more and more applications and services in our daily life. This has led to growing concerns over user privacy, since human interaction data typically needs to be transmitted to the cloud in order to train and improve such systems. Federated learning (FL) has recently emerged as a method for training ML models on edge devices using

Training mixed-domain translation models is a complex task that demands tailored architectures and costly data preparation techniques. In this work, we leverage federated learning (FL) in order to tackle the problem. Our investigation demonstrates that with slight modifications in the training process, neural machine translation (NMT) engines can be easily adapted when an FL-based aggregation is applied

Product aspect extraction from reviews is a critical task for e-commerce services to understand customer preferences and pain points. While aspect phrases extraction and sentiment analysis have received a lot of attention, clustering of aspect phrases and assigning human readable names to clusters in e-commerce reviews is an extremely important and challenging problem due to the scale of the reviews that

Building sample-efficient agents that generalize out-of-distribution (OOD) in real-world settings remains a fundamental unsolved problem on the path towards achieving higher-level cognition. One particularly promising approach is to begin with low-dimensional, pretrained representations of our world, which should facilitateefficient downstream learning and generalization. By training 240 representations

In the era of big data, eXtreme Multi-label Classification (XMC) has already become one of the most essential research tasks to deal with enormous label spaces in machine learning applications. Instead of assessing every individual label, most XMC methods rely on label trees or filters to derive short ranked label lists as prediction, thereby reducing computational overhead. Specifically, existing studies
